Inspired by a visit to Spinalonga, the abandoned Greek leprosy colony, Victoria Hislop wrote THE ISLAND in 2005. It became an international bestseller and a 26-part Greek TV series. She was named Newcomer of the Year at the British Book Awards and is now an ambassador for Lepra.
Her affection for the Mediterranean took her to Spain, which inspired her second bestseller THE RETURN, and she returned to Greece to tell the turbulent tale of Thessaloniki in THE THREAD, shortlisted for a British Book Award and confirming her reputation as an inspirational storyteller. THE SUNRISE, a Sunday Times Number One bestseller about the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, was published to widespread acclaim in 2014.
Victoria Hislop’s book, CARTES POSTALES FROM GREECE, is a fiction piece illustrated with photographs. It was a Sunday Times bestseller in hardback and one of the biggest selling books of 2016.
Her novel THOSE WHO ARE LOVED is set against the backdrop of the German occupation of Greece, the subsequent civil war and military dictatorship. It was published in May 2019 by Headline Review.
